Tempest I wasn't at your level but at 38 I started nightschool whilst working during the day to learn bookkkeeping (computerised and manual ), I passed my exams easily and some before the rest of the class as I threw myself into it. I managed to get a job in bookkeeping and they loved me, said I was the most competent, friendly and methodical bookkeeper they'd ever had. I fitted right in from day one and was there 7.5 years. Then peri hit, I'd look at my reconciliations and it could've been in Japanese for what sense it made to me, I thought I had early onset dementia, I'd hear ringing in my ears, I felt lightheaded and suddenly the job I loved became a nightmare I wanted to hide away from. I was petite, bubbly and joined in the guys banter. Almost overnight I didn't recognise myself at all, I was thinking to call my mum after I'd zonked out on the sofa after work but then remembered she'd passed away 10 years previously, that'd upset me then but I was guessing I yearned for a hug from her, to tell me this was normal, I was gobsmacked when the bloods showed peri and b12d, the symptoms overlapped and not having had periods since my hysterectomy 13 years before I'd never known and thought I'd skipped the menopause when they said my ovaries failed back then
Keepgoing - good to hear from you, please keep in touch as I need to know your progress 😘 I'm on day 4 of a pea size blob (prob more like petis pois) and don't feel any different (I didn't expect to either so soon), but this last week my scalp has itched again which normally means one thing = more hairloss 😢 I feel gutted as I've started wearing clip in extensions and powder to cover visible thinning and that itself has given me a boost. I really feel like menopause is out to finish me off and the more I try to fight it, the harder it comes and hits me
i so need this T to stop this hair malarkey and even help me grow the missing bits x
